The Cimarron is
starting to fish well with a pre-runoff inflow from the tributaries and
should improve weekly thru June. We are still using Ute Creek Ranch and
the Cimarroncita.
The
Red hasn't really had it's usual good Spring but is getting there and
the bestfishing will probably be post runoff this year. The caddis and
mayfly hatches have begun but the deluge from the snowpack is due later
this month.
We'll be fishing the Culebra and the Conejos this year as usual and both have plenty of water.
The
Valle Vidal opens July 1 and we have some new private water on the
lower Costilla which will start to fish after the dam opens on April
15. There are also some new lodging opportunities in Amalia for those
who don't relish the long ride back to Taos or Red River.
Our
Spring Pike season was a bust this year with ice and high flows on the
Rio Grande but last Fall we started really exploring the Ute Mt. area
by the Colorado border and this Fall it should be great in October and
November when flows on the Rio stablize. Rita has a new 13' raft with a
fishing frame and we will be using that in the Fall on the Grande. She
will be here most of the summer with a few trips to Montana in the
Spring and Fall.. You can check out some of her adventures at rioroseflyfishing.com.
We hope you had a happy and healthy winter and hope to see you streamside this season.
Ed and Rita Adams
